Vishranthi Veg Restaurant, Besant Nagar

It’s been a long time since a review of your favourite restaurant has come up in the site. Finally I found time in this lock down and thought of penning about this place that I went on Feb 2020. I’ve never been to this restaurant before and so here I am with it’s review.

I had to go to a local visit in the city with my colleague and the meet went on for a long time. My clock showed 12 and I told my colleague that we can have lunch outside. From all the suggestions we discussed suddenly Vishranthi struck our minds and we decided to go there. The place was empty around the time and I began to scan their menu to order. We ordered 3 items and shared it together.

This is a self-serviced restaurant and so you have to pay the bill first then take your order. That’s how they work.

Sambar Rice – INR 55/-

This is the bissi bela bath but without the ghee topping. The preparation was so precise and great that this tasted great. The vegetables were perfectly boiled, the salt was precise and even the vadam (sandige) a.k.a the fried snack they served as a side dish to the rice was great. I felt the quantity to be a bit low for the price but the quality was fabulous. The rice was fully cooked and it slid down my throat to my tummy so easily. Must try and highly recommended.

Parota Kurma – INR 60/-

It’s been quite some time since I’ve had this and we shared 1 parota each. They give kurma and coconut chutney as the sides. We asked for some extra kurma. The parotas are made of maida and its not good for your health. Have it just once or twice a month and not more than that. I was a parota lover earlier and now I’ve started to cut it down. The price is definitely high but it is what it is. They were good and if you feel like having it then go for it man. Just cut the parota into pieces and pour the kurma in the middle. Mix both and eat it.

Keerai Vadai – INR 40/-

They give just 1 piece for 40 bucks and that’s damn costly. The vadai is good with both the chutneys – coconut and tomato and the sambar but this is definitely unacceptable. I like it and the sambar was great (as like their sambar rice). I felt like having a vadai and so we got this. It was okay-ish.

Sweet – INR 40/-

To finish our meal, I wanted to have this sweet (Kasi Halwa) as this caught my eyes while I was having a glance of the items on display. It looked delicious and when I had it, man this is heaven. It was scrumptious. The ash gourd (pumpkin) was finely grated and I suppose they added some colour to it. It would normally look yellowish but this had the colour of the beetroot. I totally loved though the price was on the higher side. Must try if you are a Kasi halwa lover. This is my hero of the day.

The bill came to around INR 195/- and we had a good meal (I suppose). I think I should come again for trying their breakfast as one of my friends keeps insisting me and that their breakfast is too good. Hope I shall have time to do this after the lock down and the blog can have an edit then.

Just see the other pictures of the hotel interior, their menu, and the items arranged for display.
